As I sit here on the eve of my baby's 5 month birthday, I can't help but think of how much my life has changed. To give you an example: My daddy is in town so naturally we will go out to eat. Well this is my new (and amazing) Friday night. 5pm dinner reservation at this fabulous farm to table restaurant called Harvest in downtown McKinney. (fun tidbit, I was convinced eating here two days after my due date would put me into labor. Clearly it did not). Dinner ended at 630 & we came home right home to try and not miss Harrison bed time by toooo much. We got H ready for & into bed. I washed dishes and made lactation cookies. Now I sit here at 846 on this marvelous rainy evening pumping and eating a freshly baked lactation cookie, while chugging two glasses of water. (Milk machine guys, Milk.Mach.Ineee!) The baby monitor is softly sounding with the ocean to my left while it sits on top of the thank you cards I need to write! My two large glasses of water to my right are begging to be finished. I am considering watching a movie, but lets be real, when I finish here I will brush my teeth and snuggle up in bed to read a few chapters in one of the 3 books I am currently reading, and then decide man it is late, night night world!
What a fun month this has been! Harrison was finally baptized. He chose that 20 minute chunk of time to explore his voice! Poor father Tim kept cringing as his hearing aide amplified Harrison's squeaking and squalling! He even asked us if Harrison was always this vocal and loud. hahahaa! Needless to say, it was an very entertaining time. We are so lucky and blessed to have such an amazing family of support. We had so many people come in town and celebrate with us! And so many friends came to celebrate and party with us afterwards!

5 Month Stats:
- H got baptized on 2.21.25 & we are so lucky to have had so many family members come in to celebrate. We had a huge party and lots of friends came to play!
- Got to meet aunt Lauren & Uncle Ryan!
- Consistently rolls front to back and back to front
- Experienced his first snow. 2.25.15.
-Sat in his first high chair & ate the table. It happened at Jasper's on Aunt Lauren and Uncle Ryan's going away dinner.
- Aunt Lauren got him to really giggle!!! On 2.23.15. Video proof below
- Mastered grabbing things with two hands. Never misses and they always go right to his mouth! This is by far my favorite development so far! It was just so cool to watch him go from missing to grasping!
- He is a rolling machine. front to back, back to front, and all over the place!
- He is OBSESSED with Liuzza!!! Like oh my gosh, it is crazy and amazing to watch. He just reached for her and grabs her. The best is when he just giggles his head off at her. She can be doing nothing entertaining, but he just is looking at her laughing. It makes my day!
- He is the master of the fake cough. And often turns it on when he wants to be paid attention to.
- He still pretty must detests his car seat, but is getting better. So that's a plus, right!?! Haha!
- He is fascinated with his mobile sound machine that is hooked to his car seat. He pushes the buttons and changes the sound. He also grabs it and just stares. It is quite funny to watch.
- He reaches for me! When someone else is holding him and I put my hands out he reaches and leans for me. It is such a cool feeling!
- Grandpa came to visit and we had a great time! He got to come see Harrison's Little Gym class.
- On a Little Gym note, they keep telling us how strong he is. Like he will do things that the older kids do even do yet. It is crazy to hear people tell you your baby is so strong. I am excited to see where this leads him!
- His sleeping positions kill me. We always start him in the same spot and he ends up all over the place, eventually to settle in the top left corner . It is hysterical!
- We have two teeth!!! two teeth! Two amazing beautiful bottom teeth. All of a sudden he has this one sharp thing, then it became this bumpy flat things. And BAM there were two!
- He had his first sleepover ever! He spent the night with Raine & Papa King while mommy and daddy went to Aunt Yellie & Uncle Philips wedding. He did great. This was also the night that his teeth broke through, so phew!
It has been really cool to watch him this last month. He is really developing into a person with a personality. He is totally cool going to other people, even though he is very much still a mamas boy. If I am in sight or he hears me then he is like "o times up person, I need her."
